Book Deal Giveaway! Day Two

Yes, someone's going to publish my book. I can barely contain the tremors, trust me. Since you guys have been around for a lot of my journey, I'm giving away some epic stuff. At least I think it's epic.

My book is a young adult dystopian novel in the vein of The Giver and The Hunger Games. Therefore, my giveaways are young adult/middle grade dystopians.

Each day this week there will be two prize packages available. The rules to enter are super-simple.
1. Go to The League of Extraordinary Writers blog. (I'm a co-author.) Follow.
2. Leave a comment ON THIS POST.

Winners will be chosen from the comments of this post. I will check to make sure the winner has followed the League blog.

What can you win? What can you win? WHAT CAN YOU WIN??

THE ADORATION OF JENNA FOX prize package:
1. A copy of The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson (paperback)
2. Matching bookmark created by Elana
3. A box of peanut butter patties -- Girl Scout Cookies!
4. $5 gift card to Barnes & Noble
5. Sweet shoulder bag - fits a trade paperback!
6. Copy of From the Query to the Call OR a query critique by Elana

Again, all you have to do to win is 1) Follow The League of Extraordinary Writers and 2) Leave a comment on THIS POST. (Tell me which prize package you'd like most. If possible, I'll give it to you.)

This giveaway will remain open for 24 hours! That's it. You snooze, you lose. Because tomorrow, I have TWO more prize packages to give away! Winners will be announced at 9:00 AM tomorrow. And the new giveaway will go live at 10:00 AM.

I have just started following the league and am admitedly a treeible speller as well as writer however i am an avid reader and have been told i can devour books. i look forward to following you and seeing what nifty new things i will be reading this year.Krystal

I'm not too fussy. There're perks to both prizes. But if I have to pick, I'll say the Jenna one. But wait. I looooove the mint cookies. Seriously love the mint cookies. And a 10 page crit would be cool. But then again, I've changed my query. Again. Okay, the Jenna one. :D

Elana: Again major congratulations on getting published and starting the second blog! I'm a follower of both, so go ahead and add my name to the drawing list. Truly, I don't have a preference for either package. Both would be good to win. So go with what the second person wishes to have, and I'll take the other.

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH so happy to celebrate with you--and to follow the League! For me, remembering that book deal phone call just never gets old. Recently told the husband I think I'd have flashes of joy from that moment for YEARS. Love both prizes but guess I'll request JENNA FOX.

Still so excited for you about the publication news. I'm a follower of both blogs :). I'd love the second package but mostly I just want to read your book From the Query to the Call. I'm going to pitching and querying later this year so I bet it would be super helpful.

Yep, I'm following (squirming a lil cause the design is the same as my blog--promise I didn't see it before I started mine!), and I would be equally happy with either package (insert coin flip here). Fingers are crossed because I'll be out to sea the rest of the summer and my berthing-mates and I could really use a care package like these.

Congratulations, Elana! I am so excited for you - and for your book. I can hardly wait to purchase it and read it from cover to cover. This is my FIRST contest entry. I'm a virgin. I've not entered any others yet because they haven't excited as much as this one does! Both packages are amazing, but I would love FEED. That personalized notebook would fit right into my purse and I could write in crowded lunchrooms on my breaks during my teaching stints! And the hubby loves Thin Mints. I'm willing to share. Thanks for doing this! You are being very generous. Karma will come back around, just wait. You rock!

Wow, both packs sound amazing. Both are on my listtt. And, beside the books, I love PB, but I also would love the notebook. Hmm... decisions, decisions....Hm....I think....Aw, I don't know! I think I'll go with The Adoration of Jenna Fox bratdownstairs @yahoo.com

I'd love either one of those. The Adoration of Jenna Fox was amazing, and I've been meaning to read Feed for way too long. I'm leaning more towards the first one because I already know I love it. Thanks, Elana!

Seriously, I NEED to read the Adoration of Jenna Fox. For real. I've been going to order it for weeks, but am waiting to get through the stack that keeps growing on my dresser before I buy it. But still, I totally want to win that.

And BTW, what did you think of I Am Not a Serial Killer and Mr. Monster? Or have you finished them yet?

If I'm not too late, I'll choose the FEED package -- because I just borrowed JENNA FOX from the library! (Totally random pick, too. And I just love it when I randomly choose a book and then it appears in a blog post soon after. It feels like fate.) ;)

What People Are Saying About POSSESSION

"Possession held me completely captivated from beginning to end. And what an end! I fell in love with the characters and had countless moments of 'Wow.'"--James Dashner, bestselling author of The Maze Runner and The Scorch Trials

“Most [readers] will be drawn in by the love triangle, revelations about Vi and her family, and a dark twist ending that maintains the faintest glimmer of hope.” --Publisher's Weekly

"Who Should Read This: Anyone who wants a challenge: This plot is so twisty, I had to read the last chapter twice before I could believe what happened. There's also a very nice balance between badass action and romantic tension for readers who like a good mix of the two." --MTV.com

“Emotion pumps through every scene of this thriller. Given all the urgency and action, the novel’s ending may surprise readers as the heroic adventure turns into a tragic love story.” –School Library Journal

“If George Orwell's novel 1984 were to have a little stepsister, Johnson's POSSESSION would be her.... It would also be perfect for those who relish a hearty romance mixed in with science fiction....As readers follow the relationship triangle, they will gasp with anticipation wondering which boy she will ultimately choose.” --VOYA
